A team of researchers from Sungkyunkwan University, led by professors Baik Seung-hyun and Choi Joon-myung from the School of Mechanical Engineering, has developed a groundbreaking nanocomposite material with enhanced electrical and thermal conductivity. The findings of this research were published online on August 24 in the journal Advanced Functional Materials under the title "Ballistic-like Thermal Transport Between Fillers in Highly Conductive Stretchable Nanocomposites."
Professor Baik served as the corresponding author, while research professor C. Muhammed Ajmal and researcher Cheon Seong-su were co-first authors.
The significance of this study lies in the discovery of a unique physical phenomenon where thermal conductivity increases as the material is stretched due to precise control of energy barriers between particles at the nanoscale. This innovative approach has been successfully applied to a heat-dissipation technology for foldable smartphones, demonstrating the potential for thermal management in flexible electronic devices.
